The youth pastor of a Manassas area church is facing additional charges after a second person reported that he had inappropriate contact with her when she was a teen.

Jordan Baird, 25, was arrested Aug. 17 after Prince William County police investigated reports of an incident at Life Church, 11234 Balls Ford Road in the Manassas area, Prince William County police said in a news release.

Police said a 16-year-old girl told reported that Baird, a youth pastor at Life Church, sent inappropriate text messages and inappropriately touched her one more than one occasion between January and September 2015. Police said the alleged incidents happened at the church.

Later, a second victim came forward to report that in 2013, when she was 17, Baird “made inappropriate statements and exposed himself to her” while inside the church, police said in a news release Tuesday. Police said Baird also “had inappropriate sexual contact with the victim.”

After investigating the second victim’s report, detectives obtained warrants charging Baird with a third count of indecent liberties by a custodian.

He is being held on a $5,000 secured bond and has a court date on Nov. 15.
